Gut anything impacts everything.


Well before WFH companies did all kinds of social activities for their employees. After 2020, they choose to completely forget about those things.


I always dreaded those social activities. Even when "not mandatory" it was always expected to show up and pretend to have more in common with the peers than "I'm here to do the work and collect a paycheck" anyway.


I dreaded them too. It turns out not having them is even worse.


I went in a shop to see this nonsense with my own eyes,and I almost bought one.


fun fact: if you get some chronic illness, you have good chances to become an idiot. Every time your body stops working in some major way, your thinking is also affected (you become a de facto idiot).


I think is all down to how healthy the intestines are. As the health decreases, you become sensible to all kinds of foods that you had no problem with before.


The problem is that on the packaging Burger will be written with huge letters and then vegan is metioned somewhere in a corner. I bought cheese that was not cheese :)) Imagine my disappointment.



In your example it says “with soy protein” which seems to imply that soy protein is used in conjunction with the chicken type. And the text is smaller so it makes it seem like maybe they augment a smaller portion with soy, like ethanol used in E10 benzin.

Granted, it is rather obvious in Germany as you said because those foods are most typically purchased from a section dedicated to them and not mixed with others.

But the point I’m making is that even your example image was not clear.

but obviously not chicken augmented with soy


Only obvious based on context and prior knowledge.

But there are a lot of folks without that knowledge.


what knowledge and context do you miss specifically on the packaging?


So maybe we should tackle the root cause somehow instead?


That is what they are doing here. Its less work for the few people who wanna call it veggie burger to change than for everyone else to change.


> [x] will be written with huge letters and then [y] is metioned somewhere in a corner

I don’t understand how banning a specific term will address this general case.


Well, guess you learned a valuable lesson: always read packaging because corporations will go to any length to deceive you.


Or just make it illegal, that is less work overall.


Who said there are no good news? For the people that never lived in a dictatorship here are a few reasons people were killed in one: • grafitty agains the regime • making anti refime jokes • beeing a top official and saying you don't think the direction we are going is good

Beeing thrown in prison for years reasons: • owning a walkie talkie. Can be used to organize a revolution they said • listening to foreign radio stations


More height, stronger winds. It matters.


Is this true? Does the center of a canyon have higher wind speeds than the edges of that canyon? And what about gusts? I'd assume that boundaries are more turbulent.


and hide that fact from your managers because apparently managers think you should ask for help as soon as you get stuck...


From my own, local experience: the job is there, they just don't have the money to hire someone to do it. But the need is there.


If I was to start a business, I would be asked whether the cashflow is good enough to run the business. If it's not, because maybe I need some expensive resources I have no way to pay for even though the need is there, the business surely should not exist.


That would disqualify most of the startups into “should not exist” category.
